"The news was first reported by Fox News journalist Bill Melugin on Sunday. Melugin obtained a letter from the Doubletree St. Paul Downtown that told agents their rooms were being canceled and that the hotel closing for a few days. We are taking this step out of care for you, our team members, and the surrounding community, the notice said. The Hilton-operated hotel said its team would work with agents to find alternate accommodations."
"The Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront will be closed for several days due to elevated safety and security concerns, the property said in a statement. The temporary closure started on Sunday, and a hotel staff member told Mediaite the property was not taking reservations until at least Wednesday of this week. Like the Doubletree, the Intercontinental said it was contacting guests to offer accommodations to other properties."
Two St. Paul hotels canceled reservations for ICE agents and temporarily closed due to heightened public safety and security concerns. The Doubletree St. Paul Downtown notified ICE agents that their rooms were canceled and that the hotel would close for a few days while offering assistance to find alternate accommodations. The Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront announced a temporary closure for several days and paused reservations until at least Wednesday, offering to relocate affected guests. The cancellations follow a series of anti-ICE protests in Minnesota after the shooting death of Renee Good, including incidents that turned violent and interfered with ICE operations, prompting additional federal agent deployments.
